Aerosmith's Honkin On Bobo

Agree wholehartedly with Hooper - best Aerosmith in years. If you like blues and early raw/rough Aerosmith, you will like the cd. Not to say its perfect, but better than the MTV stuff. Also, recommend Clapton's "Me and Mr. Johnson" but still like the Aerosmith more.

You just have to take this record for what it is: an Aerosmith album. As such, it's a good one; takes one back to the Toys in the Attic time.

The only complaint I have about this record is that it's going to ruin a lot of blues jam sessions. Many guitar hacks are going to buy this CD and think that this is how you play blues; they'll be showing up with Marshall half-stacks (instead of the full stacks), turning things up to "11," and completely abandoning any sort of musical sensitivity in favor of (feebly) induldging those rock-star urges, hoping to impress some girls at the local tavern. Oh well . . .

Honestly I'm an Aerosmith fan. That's why I didn't take any pleasure in damning the album.When they get things right it sounds great eg. Big Ten Inch Record or Hangman Jury. To me this record sounds phoned in.No passion.No humour.Maybe it was a "contract filler". Whatever it is ,I ain't buying.
Just for the record my brother loves the album.
As for me, well maybe next time.
Cheers.
